This course is specifically designed for Ohio-licensed engineers to qualify as a "timed and monitored" online course. The course contains an automatic timer that prevents the user from accessing the quiz and earning a certificate of completion until the minimum amount of study time has been met. This achieves the Ohio Board's intent that an online course should be "paced" by the provider. For more information, please see the Ohio state requirements. This course may also be accepted in other states (see the "Board Acceptance" tab above). However, if you are not licensed in Ohio, it is suggested that you purchase the self-paced version of the course.

In Estimating Stormwater Runoff , you'll learn ...

How to use three different methods to determine peak stormwater discharge

How to use an I-D-F chart

How to determine the time of concentration from

How to determine the CN number based on soil type, cover and land use

Overview

To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 100 minutes has been met.

This course is for Civil engineers, who might be interested or involved in stormwater runoff. One of the initial requirements in the design of culvert, channels, detention ponds, outlet structures and storm sewers is an estimate of the peak stormwater runoff. This course covers three methods of an estimate of peak stormwater runoff. The uses of some computer programs are mentioned.
